Joomla also provides official documentation to help users and developers, you can also help to translate it for the benefit of your community. To translate the Joomla Documentation, follow these easy steps:

If you see translation like this: [S:MyLanguage/JDOC:Wiki policy|wiki policy]] Just Translate the part after "|". Please don’t change any string before "|" or it can break the link. Like this: [[S:MyLanguage/JDOC:Wiki policy|wiki policy]] = [[S:MyLanguage/JDOC:Wiki policy|উইকি নীতি]]

Don’t miss breaks, quotes and other markup included in the source. Please try to follow them to not break the display in your language. Try to check that you didn’t miss any markup before saving your translation.Don’t forget to also check our translator tips page.
